News Aggregator for Weblogs At Harvard
This is an experiment. I’ve wanted to try this out for quite some time — it’s a mini-aggregator in a Manila site. A managing editor selects feeds for a news page for his or her community. This means that people can learn about and enjoy a news aggregator without having to install and run one on their own. When they want to control their own subscriptions, then they can advance to the next level. The display of the aggregator here is still quite crude. But there will be new stories at the top of the hour. I have to provide a way to see what we’re subscribed to and a prefs page to add or remove feeds, and to determine how many are displayed on this page. In other words the development is far from finished. But it works. DW
